Still Have 2 Baby Canine Teeth. Will Permanent Ones Replace Them if I Got Them Removed?

jessd
I am 18 and i still have my 2 canine baby teeth my left adult canine tooth is slightly showing above my baby tooth but my right one is not. Im scared that if i get my baby canine teeth removed that the permanent ones won't come down, especially the right one. What risks am I taking if I do not get them removed?
